(past) I awoke to the bright shinning sun smacking me on my face. From the moment I immediately became excited. I knew that this day was going to be one of the best experiences of my life, that I would want my family and friends to remember. As I walked out of my room a seen my mom who was also making her way out of her room. My attitude and facial expressions when from tired and sluggish to excitement and joy as my mother's also did simontenously. From that moment my mother asked, "hey son are you excited"! It did not take me a long time to answer this question because I desperately wanted my mother to know how I was feeling. "Yes mom I am very excited" I replied with enthusiasm. She did reply with a remark telling me to hurry up and get dress because I only had a hour left. I couldn't believe it. In an hour I would be leaving my high school forever and finally would be considered a high school graduate. I also imagined this day would come because I seen it happen over and over again to my older siblings and cousins, but I never thought it would hit me so fast. I thought to myself "wow I am the youngest out of my family and the last to get a high school diploma". As I hoped in the car with my gray and silver cap and gown on with black church shoes, I immediately became sad that my father was not going to be there to witness his baby boy the last of his children get their high school diploma. I tried to block this feeling out of my mind because I did not want to cry in the back seat on a day I should be very excited. I told my self I will be at my high school in 30 minutes and I will be so excited to see my friends who were also excited to be graduating from high school.
(present). I'm up bright and early every day on Monday's Wednesday's and Friday's to get ready for my favorite class of my entire semester. As I hear the another college students preparing for their day as well, I think to myself want exciting and interesting things am I going to learn about in psychology today. As I walk to class I see the bright green grass and the tall beautiful buildings surrounding that grass the is known as the quad. I walk in one of those nice buildings to a buzzing crowned of students all over. I see my favorite professor and she immediately engage in conversation with me. "hey how are you"!, she says with excitement. I returned her reply be stating that I am good and ready for class. she smiles and says, "that's good I have a lot of interesting things to talk about today". "So want major are you" she asked. In my head I knew I was undeclared, but I had I pretty good idea that I was going to major in psychology. "psychology I said to her. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree. I really that's cool! there are so many things you can do with a psychology degree, you will never be limited and its pretty fun to learn about." From that moment I was sold. before speaking to my psychology professor, I wanted to do psychology but I was also a little skeptical about it. After I spoke to my professor I was very interested in psychology because I enjoy learning about why humans and animals act and do the things they do. That when I really knew I was going to be a psychology major.
(future). I sat at home on the couch with my sister as my mom was walking out of the kitchen. I was debating weather or not if I wanted to go back to school for my master's in psychology or to keep my job in the rehilbilation center. "Rah you can do both" my sister said. It sounds good to go back for my master's, but I'm already working from 8 am to 3 pm where am i going to found the energy to get up in go to school if I also do the night shifts." "You will have to work something out with your boss". This dilemma really caught my attention and I was going to have to figure out something quick if I wanted to meet the deadline for graduate school applications.
